What a fund of cool nerve that young man
must have had! He surmised in an instant
the real state of affairs, and rushed out of the
office.
l seized his arm before he had fairly reached
the sidewalk, and. finding that escape was i'm
possible, lie very wisely succumbed

AS the rascal had been apprchended with

lie accordingly confessed that, as he had
been alone in Mr.. Holmes room upon the
night of his disease, the idea had occurred to
him of secreting the box of valuables, the
secret of which the old gentleman had con-
tided to him, and use them as a means of COM
polling Amelia to marry HIM, in the event of
his failing to gain her love.
He had watched his opportunity, and, when
all was quiet, had removed the box TO q field,
where he had buried it in the earth.
The statement proved correct, and the box
was found with its contents intact, save the
papers had found upon Saxby.
The latter pleaded guilty to the offense
charged, and in consideration of the fact that
the property had not suffered dminution, and
had been recovered through his confession, a
much lighter sentence was imposed upon him
that otherwise he would have received.

PANSIES.
The Experiment of Growing Them
in New Manner.

Last season l tried growing pansies in
a new manner; at least, it was new to
me. We sowed large quantity of SEED
quite early, but the drouth came on
before the plants had attained much
size, and all through the summer they
just managed to live, and that was all;
indeed, they would have died long
before fall came with the long.defe-red
rains, had we not watered them daily.
But the water we applied did not seem
to produce the same results that
followed the application Of moisture in
q natural manner, and the young
plants stood still. But when it began TO
get cooler, and an occa>ioDal rain came.
the plants began to grow. ] wondered
what effect pinching back would have
on them. They were inclined to make
a growth OF one or two branches only
when they got started. So [ went TO
work and pinched off the ends of all Of
them. This induced other branches 70
start, and these were pinched of when
they had grown q few inches. In this
way L had some compact little plants
rather than the usual slender, sprawly
specimens. 1 think this treatment
would be q benefit to the pansy under
any circumstances, and shall practice
the pinching system the coming season.
1t is a characteristic OF this most charm
ing flower to send out but few branches,
ane these are so slender as a general
thing, that they are easily broken. II
the plant viii adapt itself TO pinching,
as | think it will, during It's summer
growth, do not see why We may not
have bushy, compact plants, with more
flowers from them than we usually get
from plants allowed 10 grow 20 suit
themselves, because there will be more
branches to produces flowers on. - jck'8

HARD DRINKING.
Its Remarkable Indulgence in High
Society.

The hard drinking that is INDUCED in
in high society must be something quite
huge. 1 have not been to the
opera this season without finding

men whose condition ran the
gamut from babbling foolishness
to stupid sleepiness. The lobby.
between the acts, would be full of them.

they facetiously term the barroom. The
contingent that society sends to the big
ball Is by far the most riotous that Won
can ind there, and l hear of a number
OF scandalous exhibitions of inebriety at
private balls and parties. On one
occasion, especially, two prominent
youngsters, who reeled into a ball at
Delmonlco's. were elected BY the floor
committee. On another a dinuer party
at a dude club resulted sadly to the
marrlng of the walls of the diningroom

ers converted into missiles in the exu-
oerance OF their vinous humor.
Nor IS it the sterner sex alone that
claims the attention of the Blue Ribbon
League. The number of society women
who look upon the champagne when it
bubbles is apparently on the increase.
There is babble after every entertain
ment of Miss KS or Mrs. Ys omen

at the clubs of the indiscretions into
which their appetites besray Certain
